Abstract
As the final step for developing a small-scale solar thermal power generation technology in Korea, a demonstration project for a dish-Stirling power system has been carried out by KIER. During the two years project period, 10 kW dish-Stirling power system was built in Jinhae city and successful solar operations were demonstrated. The system consists of mechanical part for solar tracking, parabolic dish-type concentrator, a number of mirror facets, Stirling engine generator, and control/monitoring devices. Close analysis of operation results revealed that the minimum DNI value for power generation by the system was around 200 W/m2 and the efficiency of solar-to-power conversion reached over 19 % at above 400 W/m2 DNI condition. In this paper an example of typical clear day operation and analysis results were introduced.
